60-Day Financial Fitness Challenge: Day 44

Today’s task: 

Put yourself and your dreams out there

Today’s task is actually related to something I did yesterday, which while it took away from my writing time for this 60-day challenge, was an important step in moving forward on my business endeavors. 

I submitted an application for a fellowship called Ears in the Field, which is a 4-month paid production fellowship hosted by Food Culture Collective. Through the program, fellows will develop original audio pieces to be featured in the first season of the Story of Food podcast, produced by FC Collective in partnership with the HEAL Food Alliance. 

The first thing that drew me to this fellowship was the organization itself behind the program – Food Culture Collective has hosted some amazing programming, and continues to inspire me by the community they’ve built. I hope to similarly build a community of intentional, heart-driven individuals who are passionate about farming and seeing to it that their business becomes an expression of their highest sense of self, their love for the soil, and their care for their community.

I highly recommend checking out their website and perusing their programs. Even the copy on their website reflects these elements of food culture that makes for a fun user experience. 🙂

Anyways, today’s task it to 1) Identify one opportunity that you have to put yourself out into the world → Express your dreams or aspirations to someone else, whether through a conversation with a friend, a post to social media, a presentation, or another creative idea and 2) See if there isn’t something that you can do to take action on that particular aspiration. Maybe it’s shaking up your routine for a day, taking a different route home from work, inviting a friend over for dinner…whatever a small step could be that gets you in the right direction.
